Mazis-Chambertin 2001

Henri Perrot-Minot's Mazis-Chambertin from 2001 is one of those bottles that really captures the essence of Burgundy. With Pinot Noir at its heart, this wine is a testament to the history and depth that Burgundy is known for. Every time you open a bottle like this, it's a bit like uncorking a piece of the region's soul.

In the 14th volume of 'Drops of God', Shizuku and Issei shared this wine under the blazing sun. The scene was filled with the aroma of freshly cut grass, and the vibrant notes of wild berries and nuts were almost palpable, like a sweet moment frozen in time.

Take a look at the glass—it's got a deep ruby core with a hint of brick at the rim. The aroma opens up beautifully, with ripe raspberries and blueberries leading the charge, followed by earthy tones and a touch of undergrowth. On the palate, it's smooth, with lively acidity and velvety tannins wrapping around the fruit's sweetness.

The finish is long and complex, lingering in a way that invites you to savor every second. Let it breathe a bit, and serve it around 14-16°C to really let its delicate nuances shine. Take your time with this one.
